Initial Hookah Setup
  Setting Up Your Hookah
 
  • Place clean stem and base into fridge.
  • Place a cup of ice water in freezer.
  • Wait 30 minutes.
  • With the other supplies still in the fridge/freezer, get your bowl, tobacco, and coals of choice out and ready.
  • Stir up the tobacco to get the juices going, and also to fluff it up.
  • Lightly drop the tobacco into the bowl, till it comes up to the rim.
  • The next steps are split in two, one for screen users, and another for foil users.
  Screens:
 
  • Pack the tobacco down very good.
  • Use a toothpick or the poker on some tongs, and poke up through the bottom of the bowl through the holes in the bowl, and through the tobacco to give the best airflow.
  • Place the screen onto the bowl, and check to make sure that the tobacco is not touching the screen.
  Foil:
 
  • Gently push the tobacco down, and add a bit more to come just over the rim of the bowl.
  • Snuggly place a large piece of foil over the bowl. Poke holes through the foil in one of many patterns. My most common is just random holes, with more concentrated toward the center.
  • Turn the bowl over and blow through the bottom to make sure there is good airflow. (thanks to Tangiers for this)
